Washer fills with water and drains normally but the drum does not agitate — the clutch motor has failed to shift the transmission into agitate mode.
Control board displays PC1 or PE1 error indicating clutch position was not detected; caused by a failed or stuck drain clutch motor.
Loud buzzing, grinding, or humming when the washer transitions from agitation to the spin cycle, indicating the clutch motor is struggling to divert.
Machine skips straight from fill to spin without washing, because the clutch motor cannot mechanically engage the agitator drive.
Water is not fully expelled because the drain diverter controlled by this motor is stuck in the wrong position, preventing complete drainage.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failed DC31-00090B Drain Clutch Motor
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer fills with water and drains, but drum does not agitate at all
⚠️ PC1 or PE1 error code displayed — clutch position not detected by control board
⚠️ Loud grinding or buzzing noise when washer tries to shift from agitate to spin
⚠️ Washer skips the agitation cycle and jumps straight to spin
🔬 To confirm: Enter service diagnostic mode (see tech sheet inside the cabinet lid). Test clutch motor at main control board connector CN4 Pin 8 to CN6 Pin 3. If 120VAC is present at the connector but the clutch does not move, the motor has failed and needs replacement. If no voltage reaches the motor, inspect wiring harness before replacing the part.
